To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this book.
As you can tell from reading my review of Charles Benoit's first novel, YOU, I was not impressed.
So I was pleasantly surprised when I got about a quarter though Fall From Grace I decided that I absolutely loved it.
I love love love it whenever I can tell when an author is improving his writing and creativity.
Fall From Grace easily made it to my top comtempary books.
Grace is definitely my favorite character (of course).
The entire time I was reading it all I could think about is, "why can't I be her??"
I basically loved all of the characters except for Zoe.
I honestly wanted to punch her in the face.
Sorry, but it's how I felt about her.
And Sawyer! Oh what can I say about Sawyer?
Well, I love him.
And I love him.
That's really the only way I can describe it.
The storyline was very interesting.
It kept me wanting to read more and more, without it being too intense.
Because well, even though I prefer intense books, it does get a little tiring.
And the end. Holy crap the end.
I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.
Definitely a shocker.
Anyway, I loved this book and I'm sure you will too!
Quick, easy and good read!
Thank-you Charles Benoit for writing a novel that didn't make me give up on you completely.
Fall From Grace was so great that I'm thinking about re-reading YOU just to make sure I wasn't going insane or something while reading it. One thing I did love from YOU that Fall From Grace didn't have, was that YOU was written in 2nd person. Very interesting. I've never read anything like it before.

If there is one thing about Charles Benoit...he writes the most intriguing, yet weird, endings O.O Still a good read :-D

This was the first book I read by CB, as part of Rochester Teen Book Festival 2015 Challenge. I was pleasantly surprised. I remember thinking it was clever.
